OFFICE OF TIE GAZETTE,
FORT WORTH. TEX. Feb. >, 1887.
Trade was quiet to day, merchants
holding their orders on account of bad
weather. The change of weather from
cold to nearly temperate and the warm,
soaking rain, which is known to be gen
eral over the entire west and northwest,
is extremely favorable to the farmers,
and the twelve hours of sleet and ice was
not of such continuance as to have an
injurious effect on cattle. The feeling
of confidence in a year Of general pros
perity was universal to-day, and our mer-
chants saw in the heavy black clouds and
drilling rain the harbmgers of an I'M
meuSe trade.
Eggs and chickens were in good de-
mand to-day, and prices tended upwards.
COMMERCE.
The New Orleans Times says: "There
is nothing so fiuctuating as commerce.
Natural advantages count little against
energy and enterprise. Il was not so
many years ago that Newport competed
with New York for the commerce of
Americs; day it is mere pleasure re-
sort. Charleston once held in its hands
the commerce of the gulf. There are
cities on the gulf coast of Florida
that once ranked high in the
commercial world, bat to-day are
dead, their names never even
heard. English ports viii not
compare with those of America in ship
ping facilities, and it requires the eXpen-
diture of millions of dollars ~ the gov
ernment to construct artificial docks and
harbors. What is true of England is
equally true of continental ports. The
European governments have been liberal
in their expenditures Tor harbor improve
ments. and on one harbor alone, Cher
bourg, France has expended more than
the United States on all its sea coasts"

A mother, talking to her little four
year old daugnltl, said: 10 You
not feel thankful that YOU have good
home and a para and mamma. with
plenty of comfortable things 10 wear
and food to eat while there are so
many children who have not SO many
things to make them happy r. No. /
do not, said little Miss Pefyerseness.
Hut when safe in bed at night and alone
iir the room her mother overheard her
saving. Yes, Ihave a nice papa and
mamma and everything good, and,
dear Lord. I am much obliged.
How much truth is found in that ut
terarce of little four year-old child,
and what lesson there is found in It
for older persons. There is so many
Of our citizens that are blessed with all
that is necessary for the comforts of
life and vet they complain that the
Lord has given more OF this worlds
riches to others, than he has seen fit to
give them. But. if they would stroll
ai,und the streets of Martinsburg and
visit those who have been less FORUM
ate in life. who have but few OF the lux
nries of this life, and see what suffering
the poor have to contend with--yet ind
the beamiug smile of contentment on
their faces. they would go home and
doubly thank the giver of all things
that he had favored them so well. And
then thy should try to make the poor
haDpy by contributing to their. needs.
| Last. but not least, always remember
to pay the poor wearied printer.

PUNCTUATION. -Puuctuation, though
a valuable art. and easily acquired. IS
neglected by many letter writers, much
10 the detriment Of their letters and the
yexatiou of their correspondence. With
some especially with business men. It
seems to be a foolish affection to de-
spise points as something beneath their
notice Others omit to punctuate
through ignorance or carelessness or,

have seen beautifully written letters,
some Of them from graduates and pro-
fessors. without single point in them.
